1 Peter 1:1-9, 13-17 Notes:
The Obedience of Hope = “A future hope produces present focus and resolve” Notes:
“If we have any genuine Christian hope, it will have its effect in helping us, as children of obedience, to do and to accept all our Father’s will… Just as strong hope will produce obedience, so true obedience will nourish and strengthen hope. A little sin will go much further towards obscuring and shatter a Christian man’s hope than a great sorrow will… No Christian man’s hope will last through sin. Therefore obedience and hope must coexist and feed on another.” —Alexander Maclaren
The Obedience of Hope Fuels Passion in the Pursuit of __________ Notes:
“Holiness is not a series of do’s and don’ts, but conformity to the character of God and obedience to the will of God.” —Jerry Bridges Page 2 of 4

No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely, no one will attain it without effort on his own part.
